"Insectivorous Plants" by Charles Darwin chronicles Darwin's experiments with various carnivorous plants, in which he carefully studied their feeding mechanisms. Darwin tried several methods to stimulate the plants into activating their trap mechanisms, including feeding them meat and glass, blowing on them, and prodding them with hair. He found that only the movement of an animal would cause the plants to react and concluded that this was an evolutionary adaptation.

Charles Darwin

Autor

Charles Darwin (Shrewsbury, 1809-Down House, 1882) fue el biólogo inglés que estableció los fundamentos de la teoría de la evolución de las especies a través de la selección natural, base de la actual teoría sintética de la evolución. Su obra más representativa y controversial fue El origen de las especies por medio de la selección natural (1859).
